The University of Iowa wrestling team is undefeated in dual meets on the season, including five duals against Big 10 opponents. On Friday, the 20th-ranked Purdue Boilermakers come to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and it’s not just another conference dual or dual against a ranked opponent. Getting to 6-0 in Big 10 duals has been a sign of great things to come in the past for Hawkeye wrestling teams.
Iowa has won 17 consecutive Big 10 duals, and hasn’t lost a dual meet at home in nearly two years. While those streaks will be on the line, the significance of staying undefeated through the first six Big 10 duals is even more important.
